True North: 100%

Balzac's Coffee Roasters maintains a strong domestic profile with a True North score indicating high economic retention. While the nature of the industry requires global sourcing of raw materials, the capital, strategic control, and value-added manufacturing are all located in Canada.

Green Score: 37/100

This product earns a high environmental score for its ingredients, featuring premium certifications like Smithsonian Bird Friendly and Organic which protect biodiversity. However, the packaging is a multi-material flexible plastic laminate with a degassing valve, making it difficult to recycle in most municipal systems. As a 340g bulk bag, it successfully avoids the high waste-to-product ratio associated with single-serve pods.
